We Can Work It Out
Keaggy Phil & PFR Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do I have to keep on talkin' till I can't go on?
While you see it your way
Run a risk of knowing that our love will soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what you're sayin'
You can get it wrong and still you think that it's all right
Think of what I'm saying
We can work it out and get it straight, or say goodnight
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
Try and see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While you see it your way
There's a chance that we might fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and there's no time
For fussing and fighting, my friend
I have always thought that it's a crime
So I will ask you once again
We can work it out
We can work it out
The song "We Can Work It Out" by Keaggy Phil & PFR is a cover of The Beatles' classic hit of the same name. The lyrics focus on a relationship that is struggling due to differences in opinions or perspectives. The first verse introduces the idea that both parties need to try to understand each other's viewpoint to find a resolution, while the second verse emphasizes the importance of communication and working through problems together. The chorus, which repeats several times throughout the song, serves as a reminder that no matter how difficult things may seem, the relationship can be salvaged if both parties are willing to put in the effort.
The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as it speaks to the fleeting nature of life and the importance of not letting disagreements or arguments get in the way of happiness and love. The repeated refrain of "We can work it out" serves as a hopeful and optimistic message, emphasizing the idea that no matter how challenging things may seem, there is always a solution if both parties are willing to compromise and communicate effectively.
